[tex-live] New kpathsea variable

In reference to
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/336067/change-default-metafonts-mode-resolution-as-when-called-directly-from-pdflatex
I would propose a change in TeX Live 2017.

The default value of \pdfpkresolution (currently 72) should be set
according to a variable in texmf.cnf, so setting it in pdftexconfig.tex
would no longer be needed. Of course, regenerating formats would still be
needed after changing the value in texmf.cnf, but that's much less of a
burden than having multiple copies of `pdftexconfig.tex` around.

Ciao
Enrico
